Moms without wedlock increase in numbers
According to latest statistics, out-of-wedlock births in the United States have climbed to an all-time high, with 40% of the newborns, mostly among women in their twenties - so it is not due to teenage pregnancy.
Why is this happening?
Well, more couples are choosing to live together before marriage. Others, afraid of a divorce, are simply choosing not to have a legal marriage (these couples often live like married couples in other ways, for example, by managing their finances jointly). And of course, women who do not want to get married for the heck of it but would still like to be moms, become pregnant with the help of a donor so that they are still in control of their biological clock.
What does it mean?
Be ready to see more of such kids. Also do not make a fool of yourself by asking a mother about the child's father or her husband - they are gradually becoming archaic concepts.
